SIPHON-RECEPTACLE.

- SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.` 57 5,932, datedJanuary 26, 1897. Application led May 16,1896. Serial No. 591,768. (Nomodel-l To all wiz/0m t 1x2/ay concern,.-

Be it known that I, JOHN NAGELDINGER, of New York city, in the countyand State of New York,haveinvented anew and Improved Siphon-Receptacle,of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of the invention is to preserve liquids of a fermentivenature in their naturall state by the influence of carbonic-acid gas,and by means of the same gas to produce a siphonage from the vessel ofthe liquid contained therein in any desired quantity.

The invention consists in the novel construction and combination of theseveral parts, as will be hereinafter fully set forth, and pointed outin the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the iigures.

Figure 1 is a vertical section through a bottle and the siphonattachment applied thereto, illustrating` the parts of the attachment inposition to admit of the bottle being charged with the liquid carbonicacid, the pressureregulator being shown in side elevation. Fig. 2 is ahorizontal section taken substantially on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3is a horizontal section through the cap, illustrating the valvecontrolling the acid-receiving cylinder released from its operatingdevice and in position to admit a iiow of gas into the cylinder. Fig. 4is a vertical section taken practically on the same lines as the sectionin Fig. 1, illustrating the Siphon-receptacle in condition for use; andFig. 5 is a vertical section taken substantially on the line 5 5 of Fig.4.

- In carrying out the invention the bottle A or like receptacle adaptedto contain the liq' uid to be served may be in the shape of the ordinarySiphon-bottle illustrated, or it may have other cont-our, and the saidbott-le or receptacle is provided, preferably, with a metallicscrew-sleeve 10, upon which a cap 11 is screwed, the cap bearing againstwashers 12, which impact upon the mouth of the bottle or receptacle A,as shown in Figs. 1 and 4.

. The cap has a central opening 13 made therein,

and around the lower end of this opening a cylinder 14 is secured or ismade integral with the cap, and this cylinder is of metal o r ofV anyapproved material, being usually constructed from metal; and in orderthat the cylinder when made from metal shall not contaminate or actinjuriously upon the liquid to be served contained in the receptacle orbottle A the said cylinder is inclosed in an outer or casing cylinder15, made from glass or other non-corrosive substance. Both cylinders areclosed at their lower ends.

A pressure-regulator B of any desired construction. is located above thecap, and the inlet sleeve or nozzle of the said regulator is tappedinthe cental opening 13 of the cap or otherwise secured. Thepressure-regulator B may be, and ordinarily is, substantially of thatconstruction shown in the patent granted to me, No. 519,089, and datedMay 1, 1894.

The outlet of the regulator B is connected, ordinarily, by a tube-16,which may be a flexible one, with a nipple 17, the latter being tappedin ,aan aperture 18, which extends through the cap and communicates withthe interior of the vessel or receptacle A that the cap is intended tocover. The faucet 19, from which the liquid in the receptacle is todrawn, is tapped in the cap at one side and communicates with a channel20, formed in the said cap and extending to its lower surface, and thechannel is surrounded by the ordinary Siphon-tube 21, made of glass orother material and adapted to extend within the vessel or receptacle Ato within a predetermined distance of its bottom.

At any desired point in the cap, at one of its outer edges, a preferablyhorizontal valvechamber 22 is formed, which is made, ordinarily, in twodiameters, and the Wall of the said chamber is threaded. The reducedthreaded portion of the said wall receives a valve 24, which is conicaland reduced at its inner end in order to fit in the inlet of a channel23 and close the said inlet, the said channel being in communicationwith the central opening 13 in the cap leading into the cylinder 14,adapted to receive the liquid carbonic acid. This valve 24, which may betermed'a plugvalve, is provided with a preferablyT-shaped channel havingoutlets at the sides of the reduced portion of the valve, and the outerend of the valve is provided with a slot adapted to receive ascrew-driver 28, which is permanently located in a tube 26, connected bya 'pipe V27, of any desired character, with a IOO source ot liquidcarbonio-acid supply. This body-tube 2G, or what may be termed theliquid carbonic-acid filler, is provided at its discharge end with asleeve 30, loosely mounted thereon, and when the cylinder 1li is to belled with the acid the filler, which is a fixture in the shop or fillingestablishment or is to remain therein, is secured in the cap by means ofthe terminal iiange and a swiveling-sleeve 30, so that its body-tube 26may be turned in any desired direction, and the screw-driver, which isoperated from the out side of the filler, is carried to an engagementwith the slot 2) in the valve 24, as shown in Fig. 2, and the said valveis then unscrewed from its closing engagement with the channel 23 andthe liquid earbonic acid under suitable pressure introduced into thefiller will be passedA through the valve to the channel 23 and fromthence into the receiving-cylinder 14. The plug-valve, after thecylinder has received its charge, is closed by means of the saidscrew-driver, and the i'iller is then removed, leaving the parts of theattachment in the position shown in Fig. 4.

The liquid that is to be dispensed is forced into the receptacle bymeans of a suitable pressure apparatus connected with the faucet 19, andin order that the air may escape from the said vessel or receptacle toadmit the liquid a channel 32 is made horizontally in the cap,communicating; with a vertical channel 3l, extending through to thebottom of the cap, and a plug 33 normally closes the channel 32,which ispreferablyhorizontally placed, and the said plug is provided with achannel or opening 34, which, when the plngis screwed outward, willcommunicate with the outside atmosphere and permit the air in the vesselto mingle with the same.

The regulator B is set to a predetermined amount .of pressure, and as acertain amount of carbonic-acid gas will always be above the liquid inthe cylinder lat the pressure of the said gas controlled bythe regulatorwill be exerted upon the upper surface of the iuid, and as the {iuid inthe vessel is withdrawn a fresh supply of gas from the cylinder 14E willbe conveyed over the liquid in the vessel, so that there will beconstantly a uniform pressure thereon, and each and ever glass of liquiddrawn from the receptacle will be as sparkling as the irst glassWithdrawn.

The device is exceedingly simple, it is durable and economic, and isespecially adapted for preserving such liquids as beer, wines, and evenmineral or ordinary water. I

The regulator and cap are entirely concealed and protected by a cover35, which after the various parts of the attachment are placed inposition it is not designed nor is it at all necessary to remove.
